Sorry to underestand in place of David,
Groovy, I guess since David is using it heavily in Moqui
I like Scala too (like js it's Object Oriented and Functional also but more
"serious" I'd say
I must say I don't much about it yet http://www.scala-lang.org/

Ok David, I'll bite; I would like to know what alternatives to Java
you think are worth considering. Is Javascript one of them (my pick)?

Back to being serious: thank goodness technology has progressed far beyond such
things. They were ridiculously limited and
required huge amounts of human effort to create the simplest software, or meet the simplest needs.
I don't know what you mean by "Java goes commercial", IMO Java is already
commercial and efforts to move it toward being more
open have been problematic. Either way, if Java is compromised it will only
open the way for something newer and better to come
along, and frankly there are already various decent alternatives.

started wire wrapped s-100 system, 1n 1976 had a full 2k of 8bit memory with a
boot strap that I loaded with switches that then
loaded a monitor from a cassette tape. that gave a chance to enter my code in
hex, that i wrote out on paper, then saved it to
cassette tape. That was my first OS. Then there was exidy OS with rom packs for applications.
finally cpm with c code so could expand.
small c then pascal, then C#.
then a got a 5 1/4 drive with i86 board that mounted on it and got compiled cpm
for it. I really wanted an Apple. Closest I got
was an amiga.
got Dos to work then windows 1.3
worked for a lot of early computer manufactures including apple and commodore.
still have pascal with the source code, so if and when Java goes commercial, I
will revert all code to pascal and Ai.

That's why I still use DOS. You can learn everything there is to know about it
in a few weeks, and I got that out of the way
nearly two decades ago. I'm a happy camper.
